A number of Cedar Key families in need will benefit from donations by Cedar Key Aerie 4194, the local branch of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, following a decision to help the island churches support needy local families.

At a crowded meeting this evening, members of the Cedar Key Eagles voted to donate $500 to each of the four island churches. A similar sum will also be given to the Levy Association for Retarded Citizens in Otter Creek.

“We have been very successful recently and the Order’s motto is ‘People helping people.’ ” Aerie President Don Smith, owner of the Cedar Key Marina, said. “Our membership has increased significantly over the past two years and, in these hard economic times, we wanted to share our success with the community where we know many people are having financial difficulties.

"The local churches are much better informed about who really needs help and we thought the best way to provide assistance is to partner with them. Our members also have great respect for the work carried out by LARC, so we wanted to include that organization on this occasion.”
